Striped Window Film

I was looking for a way to add privacy to my home without blocking the beautiful natural sunlight (or my cats’ favorite window views) and I think I’ve found the perfect solution! This window film features alternating frosted and transparent stripes that can be applied either horizontally or vertically, depending on your preference. The installation was surprisingly easy. Everything you need is included except for water and a spray bottle, which most people already have at home. The film cuts easily with regular kitchen scissors, and each window took me less than 10 minutes to finish. Tip: Clean your windows thoroughly before applying! Any dust, lint, or pet hair will show through once the film is up. The included edge tool works great for smoothing out air bubbles and tucking in any extra film around the window frame giving a clean, professional finish. I’m very happy with how this turned out. Great quality, easy to use, and it looks fantastic. Highly recommend!

I used this privacy film on some windows that I wanted to get some privacy in, but also be able to see out. Also, the cats really like looking out the windows so the view can’t be 100% blocked. The clear stripes are 1/4 of an inch and the frosted stripes are 3/4 of an inch. ( the product page gave the metric size of 1 cm and 2 cm respectively). This privacy film is the perfect balance. Filters light ( frosted stripes) and you can see out if the thinner, clear stripes. Very easy to use. I’ve read reviewers that said there was no backing and the film slid off when applied. That’s incorrect. There IS a backing, it’s thin and clear and can easily be missed. . It says in the directions that you need tape to separate it from the film. This is correct and easily achieved with a little patience. Recommend using a utility knife, a straight edge, and clamps to clamp the film to the edge of a work bench to hold it in place. To get a nice clean cut, I put a piece of pressed cardboard on the bench so the cut would be clean, keeping the blade in the utility knife nice and steady. Once I had my cuts, I separated backing from the film, I used a spray bottle with water and a drop of dish soap, sprayed the window, the affixed the film where I wanted it. You can move it around easily to get it just right. Then, I used a little craft squeegee that has a felt end, and got the water and bubbles out. After that, I gently rubbed the area with a small towel. The film edheres well, and it looks great weather it’s sunny or cloudy. A nice amount of light comes through without neighbors being able to see in. You really have to be up close, looking inside ( or outside) to see clearly through the Clear stripes . Nice quality product, easy to use. Recommend. I’ve attached phots from indoors and outside.

would give 5 stars but when it is cold some of the edges tend to turn loose. I got this to put in the pains of my French doors that are in my bedroom for privacy. It actually works pretty good unless it's cold that do not want to stick and if that's the case while you're trying to apply them use a hair dryer. other than that they work great

Tl;dr: Looks attractive, provided decent privacy, and really does help keep the house cooler. Review: I'm a Florida resident, so heat is inevitable. And miserable. And makes a 69⁰F house feel more like an 80⁰F. In comes this product, and things have changed my boys and girls. The material isn't thick, but it does have a textured feel to the white parts, which I honestly really like. If you add a decent amount of water and use a handheld squeegee tool the application is quick and easy. I did the cut while applying method, but for a more precise application you can measure and cut before adhering which will end up with much better results. But in my case, the quick and easy apply then cut worked just fine. Because let's be honest, if someone is coming into my house to critique the edges of my window film then there are much bigger problems than the window film... 😅 As for the UV protection, I applied to my slider and immediately felt a difference. I applied to my front windows, my kitchen window, and I'm working on applying to my bedroom windows. Now I can keep my air conditioner at 74/75⁰F and it's comfortable, not like sweating bullets previously when it was 69⁰F. Proof is in the pudding y'all, this product works and looks good.

I found this to be a durable vinyl film that adheres well and has just the right balance of design elements for a quality window covering. After a month, the film still looks great and shows no separation in any part of the film. As for the reviewers who complained about detached parts, I suggest a closer look at the slip being used and also the preparation. This film was applied to my sliding glass doors separating living room from enclosed back porch. I was diligent about cleaning the glass thoroughly--ammonia-based cleaner and scrubby sponge and a good squeegee, followed by a water wipe/squeegee. The glass must be very clean, free of any debris and/or cleaning solution. Doing that gave me a clean base for applying the film. This is just basic for any film preparation. For my slip, I used a clean repurposed spray bottle (24 fl oz) filled with the following ingredients: Filtered water, a tablespoon of baby shampoo, a half-teaspoon of dish detergent, and a quarter-teaspoon of baking soda. Shaken well, also allowing the baking soda to dissolve thoroughly. Then the application (thick towel at the bottom to catch/hold fluid): Generous spray of slip on the glass, separate the film, more spraying of slip, apply the film, spray the film generously and slide it all into place; use squeegee to remove slip and bubbles, using a credit card to remove any remaining fluid from the edges and corners. Since this film has distinct ridges, extra care is needed to be sure that all bubbles are removed to the sides and fully eliminated. When fully dry, the only other step might be a wipe down with water and a damp sponge. Then just enjoy.

The film is silver and the other half is not transparent

Looks great. I had put up another brand of this type of film and it was too frosted and thick. This one is sleek and just enough frost to buffer the view. Installed this Niviy film on the side windows of the front entrance door and it looks so good. Easy to install.

Absolutely love the privacy it gives but also still let's the light in

Wished it was gives more privacy

I had wanted the film to go horizontal then I realized it was not long enough so I had to go vertical as seen on the left. Although it does look nice, this is our bay window in the kitchen that brings in a lot of light, which I love and I really wanted something that would be a bit wider to let more sunlight in and be able to see into the backyard. with the see-through stripes being so narrow it’s very difficult to see outside so not what I was looking for. But it is a very nice film. I would definitely recommend for someone that’s looking for more privacy, I will definitely use this film in our en suite bathroom, The front door to our veranda on the second floor, And perhaps the front door to our backyard. As those are places that I don’t need a lot of sunlight To come in or I necessarily have to see outside a lot. Very easy to install, Easy to cut and easy to trim Would definitely recommend
